Season 2, Episode 2 (2018)
The audience and purpose of Romans is a foundational matter of debate in the study of Paul's letters. In this episode, Kurt Willems 1) gives a broad background to the issues, 2) looks at the Romans Road as something that is an example of the wrong grid for the book, and 3) offers a 'within Judaism' approach to the audience and purpose of Romans.
